Pros

The only reason to work at Willis is if you have exhausted every other opportunity, you are trying to hide out from creditors, are ok with working under factory conditions and have no place else to go.

Cons

A company run by arrogant people that have no idea what they are doing. Their only solution to fixing problems is to cut costs (see April Bloomberg report). You would think that life would be better post Plumeri. Current employees are irrepreably tarnishing their careers by staying employed at Willis.

While your review of Willis is not one that we like to hear, we do appreciate you taking the time to write it. Willis has assembled some of the strongest best professionals in the business on our team, and it’s these hard working associates who have helped us achieve the reputation of being the best broker and risk management firm. To maintain the spot as a leader in global risk management, change is inevitable and we are embracing the change and continue to move forward. We wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.

Pros

Exceptional colleagues that keep you sane during the daily grind. CFA/FIA paid for and adequate study support. Exposure to a range of departments.

Cons

Management completely disintegrated from analysts. Pay is extremely low until senior management, which is freely admitted. You won't get promoted quickly by being good or working hard, you are put on a conveyor belt and expected to be happy with it. Bonus is a joke again until more senior and you have to wait for seniors to die/retire/leave before positions are made available. London office is depressing and dull. Sometimes work 8am - 10pm whilst seniors leave at 6. Only apply if you enjoy updating spreadsheets, models and drafting emails for seniors. If you're lucky they might let you "check" other peoples attempts at making the circle bullet points squares.

Pros

You’re able to work from home. Good hours. You start early and end your workday early so you have a lot of time after to go do other things.

Cons

Too many to list: Hire people for cheap. A lot of responsibilities for the pay. Every single thing you do is monitored including if you have to leave your desk to use the restroom. The customer service persona bleeds into the office culture. So many overly nice people that it comes off as forced and fake. Most annoying office culture I’ve worked in. Incredibly strict. Strictest job I’ve had by far. They’ll let you go at the drop of a hat from what I’ve heard.
